I have to say I've been looking forward to this all year! And now that I have enough posts this year I can hopefully participate in the team challenge. One question though, on the fairytale category; would something like a scene from Beowulf or Sir Gawain and the Green Knight be accepted in this category? Or perhaps the Saga of the Volsungs? These are not historical tales (particularly) and they do feature fantasy themes...

Yes. It does have to be a complete castle. You can design your castle open and show the "cutaway" in one of your three photographs.

I was more concerned with being able to present realistic details in a size convenient for viewing in limited photographs using a reasonable amount of brick. In other words, trying to avoid being required to have a SHIP rather than asking about a fairly standard technique.

The size limitations of all entries (exept for the custom figs, miscellaneous and Realistic Castle categories) is a maximum of two 32x32 baseplates or one 48x48 baseplate. Just read the Categories and Prizes page

While technically not fairy tales, these stories likely would be ok. Fairly tales usually include magic of some type an a moral lesson.

Please keep in mind that many fans have built Beowulf mocs in previous CC contests. It will take a really great moc of that type to impress us.

Would a rock quarry qualify for the Medieval Maintenance?

Yes, if you also show how that rock is being used to repair a structure.

I actually figured that out on my own and was in the process of changing my questions when you answered.

I also have another question. Would a 32X48 and a 32x16 attatched in a shape other than a rectangle be permissable?
